I don't care for it from an sophisticated engineering standpoint. It's a model of inefficiency. But, in a muscle car, it's more than appropriate. You can't argue with 500hp and 500ftlb.

I believe you've taken that comment from a thread on engine design or something of that nature. Completely out of context.

The Mustang looked too retro but grew on me the more I saw them. The Challenger looks like crap. I don't even notice it because it looks like a newly painted 35 yo car. The Camaro concept looks really good. It's retro but the fabrication looks modern. The thing is to make a retro car that doesn't look like it was made 35 years ago. Chrysler is not being innovative even though I like that their new cars come with great performance. The 300 is very nice but all the rest that have come after aren't. Chryslers are too 1 dimensional for me.
What's innovative? A 1.3 liter engine that gives the vehicle 50/50 weight distribution and allows it to handle better than almost anything on the road.

Well... I think they did with the new "Rust-tang" maybe they can pull it off with this one.

Maybe a new job would help also...lol

NomisR, I'm with ya...while I "like" the GTO it should have gotten it's name. Let's see what happens with the next one.

AND...for the record, remember my long dead Camaro thread...well, there were ALOT better concepts there while I know some of them might be drawings from loyal fans.
word...but you know what...thats where the 6 cylinder comes in (i would think) like they have done in the past...and still do with the mustang...or just wait to get it used but then again...what is it costing to make it etc...and if you look at the stang (which i have), the outside is cool...the new 5.3l(dont quote me) V8 is there best 1 in a while...but the interior is for ****...but then again...ur paying for the speed and exterior

ill just say this...id better not be dissapointed if the price is around the GTO and up

The mustang has always been a great seller...and now that the F-bodies are gone...the whole muscle car market was handed to the mustang...so it is pretty obvious that their good sales were going to increase even more

wow, what a coincidence. opened up the mailbox and guess what's on the cover of the feb. MT? the challenger (and chrysler imperial) concept. MT lists a 6.1L hemi with a viper 6-speed manual, all of which you may be able to purchase in 2009. the imperial looks like a rolls with suicide doors (obviously a copy of the rx-8 ) with the 300C's hemi.

and on a side note, a feature of a poss. chevy stingray based off the sky/solstice platform with a malibu or caddy v6. retro fans, rejoyce!
